It is not appropriate for new InitialContext() to throw 
IllegalArgumentException.

I would be thrilled if everything could be handled in the
security libs and the SASL implementation but AFAICT some
interaction from the JNDI code is still required.
At the moment the only place where this property is used
is with the LDAP provider so I believe com.sun.jndi.ldap is
appropriate for this changeset.
